Redesigning The Subconscious With Psych-K

By Ruthie Calderon


The process of Psychological Kinesiology is only one of a number of self-help oriented tools. Although, while most of these self-help programs focus on conscious behavior, psych-K focused on redesigning and retraining the subconscious. The approach is aimed at replacing negative beliefs, behaviors, thoughts and feelings with those which are more positive.

As subconscious beliefs are invisible, it can be hard at times to understand that thoughts in the subconscious may be holding an individual back from success. As such, it is believed these beliefs are often responsible for the self-sabotage resulting from these unknown and often negative thoughts. In most cases, these self-defeating thoughts have been generated throughout life, first in childhood, then later as an adult.

The first step to success with this or any other self-help tool is to acknowledge the reality of the problem. After which, the individual can then move towards discovering any self-defeating patterns which may be holding one back from success. Other tools like daily journals, dream journals, meditation and visualization can be helpful in discovering these patterns. Although, as all these aspects are focused on conscious awareness, it takes a more subtle approach to reshape the unconscious.

In fact, the entire program focus on the negative actions related to the subconscious mind. It is believed that replacing these negative aspects will override those which are contributing to a number of emotional and physical issues. For, where physical distress is a side effect of these emotional issues, removing the issue from the subconscious has also been known to remove the pain.

Stress is often the first sign that something is wrong in the subconscious, especially stress for which there may be no logical explanation. The process communicates the positive thoughts to the subconscious by using different body postures and movements. Each of which result in neuron firings in the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

While meditation may be a conscious action, it can often be a good place to begin. For, when a mind is quiet, it can better accept the idea of change whether on a conscious or subconscious level. The creator of the program believes that simply by focusing on the positive aspects of beliefs, behaviors, thoughts and feelings, negative ones will be replaced with more desirable ones.

Unlike other areas with relation to self-help, the creator built in a permission step, in which the individual must agree that the program is in the best interest of health at the time. It is a process of asking oneself for permission to change or improve that is not found in other programs. In addition, there is also a recording progress which the individual can choose to trace changes and progress with the program.

Using a combination of educational kinesiology and neuro-linguistic programming, psycho-spiritual healing, and hypnotherapy, the process while simple is also quite complex. The advanced tools while streamlined are quite helpful with regards to specific issues associated with more basic exercises like body posture, trigger points and breathing.
